BLADE｜LINE

◆Official website／ https://elevateoutdoorcollective.com/brands/line-skis?lang=ja

LINE's "BLADE" has a small radius among freeskis, and the metal provides stability

I also highly recommend it!

These fat skis are great for tight turns. They have a wide tip but a tight radius. The radius is 13.5m. We recommend trying them out and experiencing their maneuverability for yourself. They come in five sizes, so if you're mainly going for the slopes, choose the shorter size, and if you're also considering powder or freeriding, choose the slightly longer size

SPEED OMEGLASS MASTER SL KONECT｜DYNASTAR

◆Official website: https://rossignol.co.jp/

This is a must-have ski with a new metal insert for the 2025-2026 season! The new mold and U-shaped Omega technology placement improve the ski's flex and edge grip! The core is also made of HYBRID CORE 2.0, which maintains rigidity without the use of fiber materials. While these

skis have always been easy to handle and perfect for leveling up, next season's model will make skiers fall in love with their tight turns even more than ever before. The Mt. Peaks staff are also talking about this ski for its cool design! Even for basic skis, just the cool look alone might boost your motivation and get you to ski more runs!

PISTE WORKS 79｜DPS

◆Official website: https://www.dpsskis.com/

This is a ski that backcountry ski enthusiasts should definitely try! This model's characteristics change depending on the length range of the skis, so if you're looking for maneuverability, 160cm or 167cm is perfect. Unlike manufacturers that primarily produce alpine skis, this model has mild torsion, and even with Walk mode boots or grip-soled boots, you won't feel the stiffness of the skis, so I think it's perfect for on-piste training for those who regularly wear fat skis. I highly recommend it
